Story

Dear Friends,

I'm excited to celebrate this milestone year with all of you. I decided to throw a party to celebrate life and friendships. I realise the importance of this now more than ever.

Just a few weeks ago, our dear friend Vicken from Beirut lost his life suddenly. He was just a few months younger than me. He was so full of life. Beautiful, funny, generous beyond belief. He made me laugh a lot. He taught me how to be effortlessly cool, calm, humble, spiritual, driven and optimistic even when times were tough. Most of all he taught me - and so many of us whom he touched - how to spread love.

I miss him. A lot of us miss him - everyday.

So I asked for no gifts please - because this celebration is my gift to all of you - for your wonderful friendship.

But many of you have still asked what you can do. I was just in Beirut and Vick's family is finalising details to set up a Foundation in his name which I believe will support design in the region - something Vick was very passionate about.

While the foundation is being set up, I humbly ask that in lieu of gifts, please make a donation here - as little or as much as you would like. I will then ensure this will all go directly to Vick's family and straight into the Foundation.

Spread love and look forward to celebrating with many of you.

Adnan
